“When our customers come to us, they’re looking for more than just shade—they’re looking for peace of mind. They know they can trust us to use the best materials, deliver excellent craftsmanship, and stand behind our work. It’s about trust at every step, from the first consultation to the final installation,” said Natalia Crofut, Owner of Peterson Canvas & Awning.

 

Peterson Canvas & Awning is Colorado and Wyoming's oldest and most established custom awning and solar screen company. Founded in 1957, Peterson has installed thousands of custom retractable awnings, solar screens, and custom canvases at homes and businesses across the region.

 

Natalia and Gilles have owned Peterson Canvas since 2022. Natalia meets with customers to bring a thoughtful, quality-driven approach to finding the perfect shade solutions, and Gilles helps manage the business operations. Sales Manager, Jim, offers unparalleled expertise in sales and design that has earned him a stellar reputation among customers. Front Office Manager, Cyndi, is often the first person customers meet, and her exceptional care and warm connection make her a key reason many choose to work with Peterson Canvas & Awning. James and Rachel are known for their expertise and commitment to exceptional customer care for installations. Carrie, the head seamstress, is a master in crafting awnings for retail shops, creating custom products of all kinds, and providing top-notch repair services. Adrin, a talented new seamstress, brings fresh skills and creativity to the custom sewing shop.

 

“Our team's dedication and skill leave a lasting impression," said Natalia. “Customers often tell us how much they appreciate our attention to detail and the care we bring to every project—it's incredibly rewarding to hear such glowing feedback.”

 

John M., a recent Peterson customer, had this to say about his experience with the installers:

“Let me just express my appreciation for you and your staff. James and Rachel are two of the most amazing employees I have encountered in my 35 years of doing construction. They blend their difference of knowledge and skill in such a harmonious way that it is just like observing a ballet in progress. Their work to mend the ‘wound’ of our upper deck awning was a work of ARTISTRY, and you should know how amazing they are and how well they give Peterson Canvas a good name.”

 

Peterson Canvas & Awning serves all of the Colorado Front Range and parts of Wyoming from North Denver to Laramie and Estes Park to Fort Morgan. They install 250+ awnings, solar screens, sail shades, and pergola canopies yearly. These products block up to 98% of UV rays and can reduce the heat on the patio by up to 15°F, making it more comfortable to spend time outside. Awnings and screens reduce the temperature inside the home as well, saving air conditioning costs.

 

“With summer heat and bright sun just around the corner, it’s time to think about your outdoor space,” said Natalia. “Custom projects take a little time, so starting now means you’ll be ready to enjoy a cooler, more private patio when the season arrives.”

 

The Peterson team is here to provide guidance to improve your outside space, including free quotes at different price points. The products they source are from Eclipse Shading Systems, made right here in America. The Eclipse warranties are robust and demonstrate these are high-quality products that the Peterson team is proud to stand by.

 

Peterson also supports local businesses and retail shops, and they recently partnered with Colorado State University for customized animal canvas products for their field work.

 

“We all love the sunshine here in Colorado, but the intense sun and heat can make it tough to enjoy your outdoor spaces. Our awnings and solar screens are designed to tackle sun and heat, keeping your patio cool, comfortable, and private,” said Natalia. “It’s an easy way to turn your outdoor space into a relaxing retreat.”

 

Peterson Canvas & Awning is the trusted source for all your outdoor shade and living needs. Their work is beautiful and functional, and you will be so thankful for the investment in your space. Work with the shade team you can trust!
